description

Abstract Based on B3LYP spin–spin coupling constants (SSCC) of several molecules calculated with cc-pV x Z, cc-pCV x Z, cc-pCV x Z-sd and cc-pCV x Z-sd+ t basis sets, a reasonably fit, using the two-parameter formula, to the Kohn–Sham complete basis set limit (CBS) is shown. Improvement in the CBS values going from cc-pV x Z to the most elaborated cc-pCV x Z-sd+ t basis set family is observed: standard deviation for all data drops from 33.7 to 23.1, and from 6.0 to 4.8 Hz after excluding problematic 1 J (F,H) and 1 J (F,C). Calculation of water’s 1 J (OH) using B3LYP/cc-pCV x Z and B3LYP/pcJ- n significantly improved the FC term convergence.
